Burnley failed to get the win once again, but the club was lucky just to come away with a point in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle.

It was Burnley's seventh consecutive Premier League fixture without a win but the Clarets were gifted a point in the 85th minute when Newcastle keeper Karl Darlow palmed a Sam Vokes' header off the crossbar and back down off the keeper's head before rolling into the back of the net for the equalizer. In the first half, Nick Pope came up with a massive save off a penalty but he couldn't stop a header from Jamaal Lascelles header in the 65th. In team news, Aaron Lennon came on in the second half and made his Premier League debut in a Claret shirt after signing from Everton last week. Jan 31 - 5:25 PM

Burnley have captured wingman Aaron Lennon from Everton for an undisclosed fee.

This could be a very nice addition for Burnley. It is quite possible that Sean Dyche will have two new influential wide midfielders starting, as Georges-Kevin Nkoudou has also come to Turf Moor in this window. On paper, Lennon and Nkoudou would immediately add pace to the attack and more creativity as well. Lennon has hit double-digit assists before, but you have to go back eight seasons. He has a chance to re-ignite his career after several seasons of being a bench option rather than a regular starter and is worth an add in most fantasy draft formats. His arrival crushes the fantasy value of Johann Berg Gudmundsson, who will likely give way to Lennon in the near future. Jan 23 - 10:10 PM

Aaron Lennon was back at Finch Farm today as the Everton players underwent rigorous pre-season testing ahead of the new campaign.

Lennon, 30, was detained under the Mental Health Act in May after concerns for his welfare, while a statement from the club at the time said he was "receiving care and treatment for a stress-related illness." However, the winger was back at the clubs training ground full of smiles on Monday as the squad began preparations for 2017/18. Despite a bright start to his career at Goodison, Lennon struggled to nail down a starting berth last season, but following the departure of wide men Gerard Deulofeu and Aidan McGeady to Barcelona and Preston North End respectively, he will be hoping to force his way back into Ronald Koeman’s thinking. Lennon is well-placed, particularly for the first half of the season, with Yannick Bolasie expected to miss the remainder of the year after suffering a serious knee injury back in December 2016.

Aaron Lennon is being detained by the police under the Mental Health Act over fears for his welfare.

Information released by Greater Manchester Police confirm that they were called to a property on Sunday afternoon, and a 30-year-old man, now known to be Lennon, was held under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act and taken to hospital for further assessment. Everton released this statement earlier today: "Aaron Lennon is receiving care and treatment for a stress-related illness. The club is supporting him through this and his family has appealed for privacy at this time." Lennon joined the club on a permanent basis in the summer of 2015 following a successful loan spell, but after a bright first season at Goodison, he has struggled, and his last Premier League start came on January 02. Sports personalities from around the globe have taken to social media to show their support for the Everton winger. Wed, May 3, 2017 11:34:00 AM
